I was absolutely certain my cold weather no throttle issue was a bad accelerator pedal position sensor (APPS) from everything I found online. Bought a new OEM throttle body with APPS, TPS, and throttle motor last winter and after riding it around in the back floor all year, I finally installed...
I'm undecided about putting this on my list this year, but wanted to see what others are thinking. Normally we have made campground reservations earlier in January, so 4J may already be filling up. Thoughts?
I have a 2000 LX470 with about 270k. I replaced the entire throttle body with a NEW OEM unit to fix what I thought was a faulty APPS. I have the same problem and today seems a little worse.
Background: This vehicle is normally garaged and a second vehicle. Last winter I had two occasions where...
I rebooted both of my CVs and replaced the diff seals while I was there. When I replaced the driver (left) side differential oil seal, the new one (OEM Toyota) was not a very tight fit. I could get it at least 75% of the way in by hand. I decided to go with it and now I have a slight leak...
I think I have a bad APPS.
This week we've had some cold weather for ABQ (teens at night) while my LX was left overnight at work (normally it's in my garage at night). Back in town, jump in as usual and within a block or two it went into limp mode--no throttle whatsoever, just idle or slightly...
I need a hand moving from an apartment back to my house and have a U-haul reserved for Saturday. I don't have much, but there are some large things I can't move myself-2 double beds, chest of drawers, sofa, coffee table, dining table and cedar chest. One strong back for a bit to load, drive 2...
Shameless plug for my mountain bike buddy's unique product. It's a cool idea for the right users.

I haven't seen it in person yet, but I've seen their bike racks and they are nice. Pros of the hitch tent are you don't have to carry it all the time...
It looks like it's been a while since a tire discussion in the club forum. Since I killed a tire this weekend, I'm in the market for new ones. Debating keeping my 16" wheels or look for some LC or Tundra 18" wheels. Then what tire? BFG AT, Falken Wildpeak, Cooper, others? Pappy's cut...
I got the family out of the house today for a quick and easy tree run in the Jemez. We went up 144 a few miles, cut one where we got ours last year, then continued up to 378. I wanted to take that down to 126 by Fenton lake, but decided it was a little risky alone. We turned around on 144 and...
Same city and intro as that desmogged white ‘76 from Oregon with the sketchy smog certificate.

@Taghi and I camped at Gordy's Hill last night. It was a beautiful night, calm and with a meteor shower to boot (actually fireballs, evidently). We got there late afternoon and scrambled to find a place to camp.
Getting to that campsite involved a sand hill climb with tires still at street...
I met another single speeder on the foothills trails recently and when we met for a ride this morning, I was scoping out his badass 200 series more than his titanium Why Cycles single speed mountain bike. Turns out he is one of the founders of Rubicon Expedition Products. California company...
I saw this in NE today. 4-door 70-series with overland box on the back. Anyone know the rig? I was going a different direction and couldn’t get a good pic
I have a 2000 LX470 with 230k on it. I don't know the history of AHC maintenance on the vehicle, except that the front hydraulic pistons were replaced a couple years ago. After t-bar adjustment and prior to replacing my rear coils, my neutral pressures were 6.4 front and 7.7 rear when warm...
I have done a lot of searching and reading here that has been helpful, especially from 2001LC. I'm not sure how to read some of my diagnostic data to move forward.
I recently bought a 2003 LX with 184k miles and found out after I bought it the owner reset the check engine light. Shortly...
